One of the worst ideas Southend council had was to make this concrete jungle!! Hope all involved in both vehicles are okay.

Apparently tons of concrete, including concrete balls and a death trap of a shared space qualifies for good town planning...

I was on this bus and it was not the bus drivers fault. The car pulled into the bus lane and from nowhere! No one was hurt though.

Probably some bird on the phone....

The bus and the car were only doing what they were told to do, share the same space. Unfortunately the laws of physics prevent this.

I bet I know what happened here.

The car was trying to cut the lights by going through the Bus lane section so they can gain access to the Queensway or Southcurch Road.

I know this because I have seen cars do it.

Personally I don't blame the bus driver as the other car should not have been there.

Shared space works its the stupid car drivers like this one who can't, if you can't use shared space you should not be out in public. Works fine right across Europe its just small brained stupids who can't.

I have seen this myself on countless times and I think it's time the police does something about this. I nearly got run over once when a car used this very method and instead of turning right into town when those set of lights were green instead went ahead and turned left into the Royal Mail road (don't know it's name) when the crossing lights were green and car light was red

Actually the car driver was picking someone up from the train station and the ONLY way to leave is via the route she took - she was NOT on the phone or doing anything else for that matter, other than driving the car!

Actually the driver of the car was picking up someone from the train station and the ONLY way out of the car park is via the route she took - she was NOT on her phone (as she is deaf) nor was she doing anything she shouldn't have been doing other ant driving her car!

This is the 4th accident at this location as reported by the police who were going to speak with the council regarding the exit, to try and get someone to change the system to a better one - there is NO give way on this road, the buses DO NOT have right of way!
